Have been doing a deep dive on O9A recently and will say that the "Satanic Letters of Stephen Brown" (1990-92) are extremely entertaining, since it is Myatt bickering back and forth between members of the Temple of Set, claiming that he is actually the true (traditional) Satanist (long story short, he creates a nonsense fable about how he was initiated by a Mistress whose traditions go back to the Wizard Merlin). He also claims that his "nine angles" weren't plagiarised from Aquino's 'Trapezoid' (e.g. "Ceremony of the Nine Angles" in The Satanic Rituals, 1972). Of course, Myatt's main alias is "Anton Long", who hosts a "Black Mass" (t. Codex Saerus, 1983), so he is obviously plagiarising the Church of Satan. The members of the Temple of Set state very bluntly that Myatt is a one-man operation who is wasting his intellect on nonsense, and they deny him any partnership (it was actually a two-man operation, Myatt and Richard Moult - or "Christos Beest", who designed the Sinister Tarot). Its shocking that these letters were published, since they portray the whole thing in a humiliating way. Already in this time, Myatt had written "Vindex: Destiny of the West" (1984), published in a neo-nazi magazine, where he attempts (from Toynbee and Spengler) to construct a "Logic of History", foretelling the coming of an "Imperium" by 2011, at the latest, where the archetypal "Vindex" (latin for "Avenger") will rise up (this is a mirror of the Esoteric Hitlerism of Miguel Serrano, who portrays a second coming of Hitler as Kalki, the figure that banishes the Kali Yuga). Myatt adds some Nietzschean flair, seeing the rise of Christianity as the beginning of a "Magian" (Jewish) influence which leads to perversion and materialism (against the Faustian, scientific spirit of the West). Try to ignore the manifest contradiction. Anyway, this is continuous of Myatt's earliest writings, "Emanations of Urania" (1974) in which he similarly assembles a logical history, tied to the "soul" of a people, along with their "acausal" existence (acausality is a concept found in Carl Jung's notion of "Synchronicity"; an event in the collective unconscious). Thus, Myatt identifies the unconscious or "archetypal" realm as "acausal" in nature, but still as yet "material" and physical (e.g. hence his "physics" of the acausal, an apparent project in the 90s which was lost to time and circumstance, but which saw "living machines" take the place of current technologies).
